COMPLETING THF CIRCLF
Tandys Move From Beach To
Chapel Hill
BY DOUCJ RU1TKR
If John Tandy has any regrets
j about his days at Holden Beach, it's
dial he didn't spend enough of them
fishing.
"I never did get enough of it," the
former mayor said last week. "I just
talked a good fight more than any
thing."
After a do/en or so years as per
manent residents and more than 30
as homeowners, Tandy and his wife.
Elizabeth, have moved to Chapel
Hill to live closer to their family.
"This is kind of completing the
circle for us," Mrs. Tandy explained.
The retired couple lived in Chapel
Hill for about two years right alter
they were married and have children
and grandchildren in that area.
"We're just turning the page and
starting a new chapter," she said.
"We're not leaving Holden Beach
really."
About 50 neighbors and friends of
the Tandys gathered at Holden
Beach Town Hall last Friday for a
covered dish party in their honor.
Tandy served four terms as mayor
of Holden Beach ? first from Dec. 3,
1979, to Dec. 7, 1981, and then Irom
Dec. 2, 19X5, to Dec. 2, 1991.
"This is the time you just want to
dig a hole and jump in," Tandy said,
standing beside the familiar mayor's
chair.
"I feel like I should have paid
somebody for the privilege of serv
ing you all," he said. "I'm going to
miss a lot of things. You all arc just
a bunch of nice people."
The Tandys first built a house at
Holden Beach around 1958 and had

(Down Blk From Dixie Jubilee)
lived al the bcach since the late
1970s.
Tandy, a former high school prin
cipal and football coach and gradu
ate of the University of North Caro
lina at Chapel Hill, is a former chair
man of the Forsyth County Board of
Commissioners.
While he will miss the fishing op
portunities, Mrs. Tandy said she will
miss the boats more than anything
else about Holdcn Beach.
The Tandy home on Shrimp
Street provided a great view of boats
cruising along the Atlantic lntra
coastal Waterway.
Up until a few years ago, she said
all of the boats would blow their
horns when they wanted the draw
bridge to open. Now there's a high
rise bridge and no need for homs.
"Holdcn Beach is very close to us
and always will be," Mrs. Tandy
said. "We'll be back many, many
times."
Wally Auslcy, who took over as
mayor in December, said last week's
party marked the first time that all
four Holdcn Bcach mayors had been
in the same room at the same time.
John F. Holdcn, the first mayor of
Holdcn Bcach, dcscribcd Tandy as
"a man of charactcr".
"A lot of men and women have
qualifications but don't have the
charactcr this man has," Holdcn
said. "If more men and women in
our country had the charactcr this
man displays wc might have a better
country."
Holdcn served as mayor from the
time the town was incorporated on
March 25, 1969, until Dec. 11, 1973.
Kcnner Amos is the only person
who served more years as Holden
Beach's mayor than Tandy.
"I think the thing you can say
more about John than anything else
is he cares," said Amos, who was
mayor for five terms between 1973
and 19X5.
"He carcs about his town, he
cares about his church, he carcs
about his friends, he just cares," said
Amos.
